“Police have started removing homeless people’s sleeping bags in Windsor”

“Rough sleepers in Windsor have had their sleeping bags and belongings cleared away by police ahead of the royal wedding.”

“In the video, obtained by MailOnline, a woman clutching a blue sleeping bag is seen talking to police before moving away still holding on to her belongings.”

The Royals have billions in combined wealth

Watches aren't as "in" as they used to be since everyone has a smartphone with the time and then some

There are times you need the time and date without your phone

A decent mechanical watch doesn't cost much more than a battery watch. You may lose the chronograph (they get more expensive), but you can get something that will last a lifetime and will never need batteries

You can even service it yourself, since it doesn't have a circuit board

Current mood

Last one for tonight

There are people who still don’t know what a browser is, as they use one to get to Google

They equate email with GMail, they think of Facebook as the internet

These people are no less deserving of a freedom from vendor lock-in or proprietary software than those who are more tech-literate

The #blockchain mill:
A succinct description

They share my family photos
They share my personal details
They share their personal details
They don't understand computers
They don't understand #DeleteFacebook

There are *billions* of people like this

This is the fundamental reality of the world anyone creating or promoting alternatives must grasp first

"But Privacy!" sounds good, but without context, relatable reasons, and understandable directions, it means nothing to the overwhelming majority of the human race

Very strong critique and social (media) commentary by John S Dykes

Huge if true

What morning is complete without coffee and witchcraft

That’s very bold
Especially for Kansas

Good morning
It’s Wednesday

Just got this update notification on my iPhone

https://support.apple.com/kb/HT201222

“... addresses an issue where touch input was unresponsive on some iPhone 8 devices because they were serviced with non-genuine replacement displays.”

On the surface, this seems like it should be the default. But it also means Apple has been bricking devices that were repaired by third parties

#RightToRepair is not a luxury. It’s a fundamental aspect of property ownership. It shouldn’t be designed to fail if you fix them

@ahmd_amsyr @gme Many, many, many out there. Some are self-hosted, which would be ideal, but does require some knowhow and patience

At present, those who write about opensource and security are at least going to be technically inclined. So the only excuse they have for still using Medium is exposure

I can understand wanting to reach a wider audience, but from a vendor lockin standpoint, the difference in priorities can't be reconciled by staying with Medium

I have no idea what's happening here, but it feels very #cyberpunk

Sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice

AT&T is routers are now blocking 1.1.1.1 after a firmware update (which just so happens to be Cloudfare's DNS service)

@charlag Here's an example on a New York City rooftop. They're growing strawberries on one of the most densely packed areas

That's a lot of growing area in a relatively small space

Okay, stream is live, I'm a bit overwhelmed by all the new users on Mastodon today, so brain is in slight derp mode!

feel free to drop by and say hello. I'm playing Surviving Mars on 500% difficulty today.
